Football (Australian)

I'm thinking this forum should all jump on the AFL bandwagon this year. I'm struggling with how to make that happen though.

From experience, the only way to become interested in a new sport at a late age is through a gambling addiction. But since so many American leagues have fifteen games per team per week, there are too many distractions for you guys at home...

Ideas? MAybe start by supporting Collingwood, the most beloved of all sports teams.

Fuck Collingwood. Those guys are worse than Olds.

But unlike Olds, it would be a mistake to ignore Collingwood.

Pre-season doesn't mean much on a team vs. team level. You can tell a lot about individual players though. Cloke is back to full fitness and is going to be be pretty unstoppable when Rocca's the one with the two defenders.
If Rusling's shoulder holds up this year, our forward line will rotate him, Didak, Medhurst, Davis and Thomas for the smalls and Fraser, Rocca, Cloke, Bryan and Anthony for the talls. Obviously Hawthorn is hard to top (until Buddy gets his third strike) but we're number 2.

We just need to win clearances.

OMG GRAND FINAL IN 19 HOURS!!!

Meh. St Kilda has won 3 pre season Grand Finals since, and including '96, and it's gotten us nowhere.

I'd assumed the game would be tomorrow night. I thought it was always the Saturday. I'm going to see watchmen at IMAX so I won't see a minute of it. Damn long-ass movie, i'm even going to struggle to catch the last train out of the city if the movie itself doesn't start exactly at 9:00. I guess I should probably just drive in. Any idea of the parking situation at the Museum? Not that you'll likely see this before i'm gone?
